The End Of The Golden Compass

Everybody who hasn't finished the book should not read this blook entry. However, I guess this entry will only be read by my classmates, and all of them know how the story ended up. Lyra will try to find out more about Dust and maybe fight against her parents. I'm so glad not to have such malicious parents; what a horror must that be? On the other hand the charisma, the intelligence, and her cleverness must be come from anywhere. I think these things she had inherited from her parents.

Although the end is not that what we had expect, the author had to let the end open so that he is able to make the readers buy his next book. Unfurtunately, I'm not one of these readers, but I will watch the film. That's also one thing the author might make a lot of money with. By the way, the film was produced a with a budget of $205 millions.

I also further informations about Dust at Wikipedia:

Dust in Philip Pullman's trilogy of novels His Dark Materials is a fictional form of dark matter, an elementary particle that is of fundamental importance to the novels. Dust is invisible to the human eye and cannot be seen without the use of special instruments such as the The Amber Spyglass or a special film. However, while humans cannot see dust without the use of outside devices, creatures such as the mulefa are able to see dust with their own eyes.
Unlike ordinary particles, Dust is conscious. It falls from the sky and is attracted to people (especially adults) and objects made by people. This makes it of great interest to the Church, which believes that it may be the physical manifestation of Original Sin. We later learn that Dust actually confers consciousness, knowledge and wisdom. This allows creatures who have the ability to see dust to identify other sentient and intelligent creatures. An example of this is when the mulefa are able to distinguish Mary Malone as an intelligent being, because of the dust surrounding her, when compared to the other animals in the mulefa's world.
It is Dust that provides the answers given by the alethiometer, and by the I Ching system of divination.

That's the autor Philip Pulman. In my opinion, at this picuture he looks very similar to my expectations.
Let's watch the film on Tuesday!
